Duplicate ListFragment entries when changing orientation

Question

So, I'm developing an app with fragments, and everything is fine, except that when I change orientation the entries on my ListFragment duplicate like this:

And when I go back to portrait mode, the items are still duplicated; until I kill the process and restart.

To populate the list I'm using an AsyncTaskLoader, but it only runs once, when the application starts for the first time; then my adapter gets filled with the info for the rows.

I'm not using the <fragment> tag in my main.xml, the fragment is added by code in the 'parent' activity like this:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    if (savedInstanceState == null) {
        TodoListFragment fragment = new TodoListFragment();
        FragmentTransaction trans = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
        trans.replace(R.id.fragment_list_container, fragment,
                LIST_FRAGMENT_TAG);
        trans.commit();
    }
}

The replace was and add, but changed trying to test if it made any difference, it didn't. I also tried using the setRetainInstance(true) method, to no avail.

I'm stumped, any help would be greatly appreciated.

You say the AsyncTaskLoader only runs when the app starts... On orientation change the app is restarting, so maybe it's running a second time?
